"But two of the more prominent ones will be absent. KTVU will be airing the first statewide debate in this year's race for governor of California starting at 5:30 pm Tuesday, broadcasting from the Ruth Williams Opera House in SF's Bayview. The debate will also be airing on KTTV Fox 11 in Los Angeles, and will be cohosted by KTVU anchor Andre Senior and KTTV anchor Maria Tellez."
"Confirmed for tonight's debate are Hilton, along with six Democrats: San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, former state Controller Betty Yee, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary and Attorney General of California Xavier Becerra, billionaire businessman Tom Steyer, and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. Rep. Eric Swalwell, a seven-term congressman from the East Bay, who announced his candidacy in November on the Jimmy Kimmel show, will not be making it, and neither will former Congresswoman Katie Porter."
Seven candidates are confirmed to appear at a statewide California gubernatorial debate tonight at the Ruth Williams Opera House in San Francisco's Bayview, broadcast live on KTVU and KTTV Fox 11 starting at 5:30 pm and cohosted by Andre Senior and Maria Tellez. Confirmed participants include Republican Fox News contributor Steve Hilton and six Democrats: San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, former state Controller Betty Yee, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, billionaire Tom Steyer, and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond. Rep. Eric Swalwell and former Congresswoman Katie Porter will not attend. California's top-two primary system could allow two Republicans to advance if the Democratic vote splits, and the June primary is five months away.
